Qi Ling City.

Jiang Lingxian pushed open the door to his residence, then quickly locked the door behind him. He looked around and whispered:

"Senior, are you still there?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Han appeared from a corner of the room, frowning as he examined the somewhat dilapidated furnishings of the house.

"Is this your home?"

"With your abilities... you can only live in a place like this?"

After a brief time together, Xiao Han learned about the situation in Qi Ling City from Jiang Lingxian.

Qi Ling City is located on the edge of the continent known as the Demon Spirit Continent, which also means that Qi Ling City's overall strength is not high.

Due to the low status of the Evil Spirit Race among the Extraterrestrial Evil race, the strongest being in Qi Ling City was Demon General sent by the Savage Demon Race to oversee the Evil Spirit Race, whose strength barely reached the Supreme Realm.

It was only after learning of the former's strength that Xiao Han dared to swagger into the city with Jiang Lingxian. As a mere nobody in the Supreme Realm, Xiao Han would never reveal his identity even if he openly flaunted himself in front of him.

However, in Qi Ling City, a desolate and barbaric place, Jiang Lingxian, a young man who is not even twenty years old, actually possesses strength comparable to the Spirit Origin Realm of the Great Thousand World, which makes him quite a little genius.

How come someone with such talent and decent skills is doing so poorly?

"Is that my brother back?"

Just as Xiao Han was racking his brains trying to figure it out, a timid voice suddenly came from a room not far away, making him realize that there were other people there.

"Little Rain!"

Upon hearing the childish voice, Jiang Lingxian disregarded even the formidable Xiao Han and hurriedly rushed towards the direction from which the voice came. Xiao Han, who followed closely behind, entered the room and found, besides Jiang Lingxian, a thin little girl of about five or six years old, lying helplessly on the bed, her face deathly pale, and her bony arms covered with dark veins like vines.

Jiang Lingxian busy working on the medicine in the room and didn't notice Xiao Han's intrusion, nor did the latter bother her.

"Are these symptoms of Evil Qi entering the body?"

After observing carefully for a while, Xiao Han came to a surprising conclusion, a conclusion that was even more unexpected than his accidental encounter with the Evil Spirit Race.

The so-called "Evil Qi entering the body" refers to the phenomenon where the Spiritual Power, blood, and even soul of living beings in the Great Thousand World are contaminated by the Evil Qi of Extraterrestrial Evil race.

Evil Qi entering the body usually occurs after a large-scale war between the Great Thousand World and the Extraterrestrial Evil race. Due to the unavoidable injuries on the battlefield, the wounds are infected by a high concentration of Evil Qi in a very short time. If the person does not withdraw from the battlefield in time, symptoms of Evil Qi entering the body will appear.

However, the targets of Evil Qi entering the body are only the myriad beings whose power systems are incompatible with the Extraterrestrial Evil race. For the Extraterrestrial Evil race, a high concentration of Evil Qi is only their most effective tonic.

The fact that the Evil Spirit Race can cultivate with evil spirits also determines that they cannot suffer from diseases caused by Evil Qi entering the body.

As Jiang Lingxian painstakingly prepared into a bowl, preparing to feed it to the little girl named Little Rain, a large hand blocked his way, drawing his anxious and puzzled gaze.

"If you want her to die suddenly within a year, you can continue using this drug."

"Bang!"

The medicine bowl fell to the ground, and the medicinal soup it contained soaked the floor around Jiang Lingxian's feet.

"How... how could this be?!"

The boy's voice was filled with disbelief.

"This medicine is clearly very effective."

"For the past three years, Little Rain's life has been saved by this medicine."

Three years?!

Now it was Xiao Han's turn to be dumbfounded. Good heavens, he had drunk poison for three years and still hadn't survived until now. His vitality was a bit frightening!

"If I'm not mistaken, is this girl incapable of cultivation?"

Xiao Han sighed inwardly, sat on the edge of the bed, placed his fingers on the little girl's slender wrist, and quietly generated a Spiritual Power that circulated within her body.

How did you know?

Jiang Lingxian surprised. This person must have just met his sister, right?

"I also know that you've never taken this girl to see a proper doctor."

"Huh?"

The boy's eyes widened in disbelief; he had encountered a living deity!

How did you know?

"How did you know?"

Xiao Han shook his head helplessly, his expression filled with disappointment and frustration at the ignorant family members of the patient.

"If you had just asked a strong person to investigate, this girl's problem wouldn't have been delayed for three years."

As Xiao Han finished speaking, the girl suddenly choked and spat out a mouthful of black blood. The blood splattered onto the bed sheet, corroding it with holes of all sizes. At the same time, a handful of black gas appeared in Xiao Han's hand, trying to escape, but he waved it away and shattered it into nothingness.

"This girl is a typical case of Evil Qi invading her body. For the past three years, you have been giving her medicines containing large amounts of Evil Qi. If it weren't for the blessing of heaven, which allowed you to unintentionally achieve the effect of fighting poison with poison, this girl's life would be over."

While covering the unconscious girl with a blanket, Xiao Han explained.

"Evil Qi have entered the body? What kind of illness is this?"

Jiang Lingxian's clear eyes were filled with an innocent purity untouched by knowledge.

"You won't get this disease. Only those with a constitution that is naturally unable to adapt to Evil Qi will experience corresponding symptoms in an environment full of Evil Qi."

"Is it because you're not used to the Evil Qi?"

"That's right."

"The little girl is naturally incompatible with Evil Qi, which is why she cannot cultivate."

If someone whose constitution is incompatible with Evil Qi were to absorb Evil Qi and cultivate, it would be a miracle if they could actually succeed!

Similarly, giving such a child medicine containing a large amount of Evil Qi is no different from poisoning.

"But..."

"Why don't you take this child and ask a powerful expert to help investigate? Don't tell me you're short of money!"

The medicine that Jiang Lingxian gave Little Rain was rich in Evil Qi. It was probably not cheap stuff in the territory of the Extraterrestrial Evil race. It would be used for three years, so the cost must have been considerable. With that money, hiring a strong person would be much better than figuring it out on your own.

"This..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lingxian lowered his eyes and said bitterly:

"You can't go."

"If it gets out that Little Rain can't cultivate, she'll be dead."

"What's the meaning?"

Xiao Han looked serious. After a brief inquiry, he learned why Jiang Lingxian preferred to figure it out on his own rather than seek medical help from someone else.

Within the Evil Spirit Race, all members who are unable to cultivate are treated as waste and disposed of. As for the method of disposal...

It's an unspoken understanding!

In reality, through hundreds of generations of continuous "human selection," there are very few members of the Evil Spirit Race who are born unable to cultivate.

However, even the vast Evil Spirit Race could not completely prevent the emergence of this extremely small minority. Unfortunately, Jiang Lingxian sister Jiang Lingyu, unfortunately became one of these people.

Initially, the two parents were the first to notice Jiang Lingyu's unusual behavior. Out of a desire to protect their child, they kept quiet and instead left their hometown to come to Qi Ling City, a remote little town.

During one of their outings, their parents were unfortunately killed by a passing Evil Clan cultivator, leaving the brother and sister to depend on each other for survival.

Xiao Han fell silent. Even though he knew the lowly status of the Evil Spirit Race among the Extraterrestrial Evil race, comparable to that of slaves, after hearing about their "great achievements" of "artificial selection" and "casual killing," he had to admit one thing...

The Extraterrestrial Evil race truly does everything except human affairs; they are a bunch of beasts who have lost all sense of high moral standards.
